Hi,
M.2 NVMe Gen 4 SSDs are backward compatible and work in the Gen 3 supported motherboards but they will run at Gen3 speeds.

Hi @ozan,

You have two M. 2 SSD slots, you can use only a M. 2 NVMe SSD in slot 1, you can use either a M.

To clear everything up for you here is all the information that you need for your Nitro AN515-45 laptop M.2 SSD specs that are both a PCIe3x4 type sequential read/write speeds maximum drive.

Your laptop will operate with Gen 4 M.2 SSD drives but it WILL NOT operate at the Gen 4 M.2 SSD drives sequential read/write speeds, if you fit a Gen 4 M.2 SSD drive, then your Gen 4 M.2 SSD drive will operate at max Gen 3x4 sequential read/write speeds, as Gen 4 M.2 SSD drives are backward compatible and up to laptops that have Gen 1 M.2 SSD drive sequential read/write speeds. Good luck and hope this helps you out.
